ARMLEY ASBESTOS DRAMA 'DUST' AND ASBESTOS-RELATED DISEASES

Early day motion 1890, tabled 14 July 2009 by John Battle (Labour). Signed by 43 members.

That this House congratulates the playwright Kenneth Yates, Alex Chisholm the director and the cast of Dust, a dramatisation at the West Yorkshire Playhouse of June Hancock's legal struggle to prove that the JW Roberts' asbestos factory in Armley caused asbestos pollution in the neighbourhood, leaving a deadly local legacy of hundreds of mesothelioma victims; notes that the drama using the trial transcripts, testimonies and interviews brilliantly captures a story that is still not played out; and urges the Department of Health to devote more research resources to tackling mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases.

Signatures by party: Labour 35, DUP 3, Liberal Democrat 2, Conservative 1, Independent 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
